how to beat 3w-1-2-3w-1?

Unfortunately, you'll probably need to buy several players to beat him. The situation would be more manageable at higher levels, as you can put together a five star starting lineup w/o buying tokens, but level 2 managers just don't have the income flow to acquire that volume of players (exception of a very deep cup run at level 1 perhaps).

4-1-3n-2 isn't a bad idea, defend/counter-attack, through the middle with long passing. He should have problems with the 2 strikers and you'll lock-up his midfield. In your case though, I don't think you can afford to not play Esqueda, so the flanks are probably a must w/o a massive roster overhaul.

If he switches out the AMC for his 2nd striker, switching from 3w-1-2n-3w-1 to 3w-5-2 v-style; your current formation (4-4-2 classic) is your counter.

Make sure to keep players at max condition and suberp morale (if you have the resources and really want to win i'd top it off too) with max win bonus.

Good Luck!!!
